the gup christening

Did the pre-christening shoot for the little gup baby on Saturday (the actual christening was today and so was my parents wedding, so I couldn’t go to shoot the actual event). Met the grandparents (mom’s parents) who I just absolutely adored. They are the NICEST people, ever. Everyone is just so thrilled about this little baby who is such a miracle. I love taking pictures of her- she and her whole family are just so special. Their story is here if you don’t know what I’m talking about.

When I walked into the house, the dress was hanging right here just for me to photograph. I love my clients. They totally get it!!

Did some shots at the house, some inside the cathedral, and some at my favorite arches. A little different perspective since it’s not like the 3 month old baby can stand up in the arches, so I was doing a lot of laying on the floor. The baby was not happy for a good deal of the shoot (and we really pissed her off pulling out the paci everytime she fell asleep or calmed down) but she really rallied and pulled it out at the end with some gorgeous smiles and giggles. She even got a special blessing from the bishop who we ran into by the church.

Grandpa, thanks for getting the bottle (even though it wasn’t put to use til after)! Hope you all love the pictures. You know the drill, the rest of the pix are in an album on the left. Click to see any image larger.
